Combat Dialogue

Combat Entrance This must be the Library… Be on your guard. Strike fast, and press hard! None shall stop the breath of the wilderness! Victory Cry I won’t kneel before anyone who’s weaker than me! Hahaha! You put up a good one. Death Who will… lead them in the future…? One should know well when to bow down… On Ally Death Don’t let the foe overpower you! The key is to stay firm rather than back down. With fortified faith, we must go on. On Kill Haha! For all the scary stories that friend told me… It was simple! Don’t get careless until it’s over. Got it?! You couldn’t stop me!

Combat Dialogue

Combat Entrance There aren’t too many of them! I’ll go first and take care of them! The Library… It doesn’t look like it’ll be an easy job, as its reputation suggests. Well, we’ve dealt with similar jobs before… It should be fine. Let’s get going! Victory Cry Good. Time to head back! This wasn’t nearly enough to make me falter! How about a pint on our way back? What are the books we earned called, by the way? Books containing info… I hope they’re helpful for us. Death …Acknowledging my weakness is important as well. Shoot… I wasn’t quite capable enough… Don’t let me bother you… To perish like this… I did my best… I have no regrets. On Ally Death I won’t stand back! This isn’t a good look. The situation got awkward… …We can’t give up here. This isn’t over yet. On Kill Haha! What a rush! This won’t be the most difficult request we take! Now we push ahead! They fall at last! I see the gaps in your defense clearly!

Key Page stories

Bayard’s Page

This wasn’t always the prim and proper Office of amenable Fixers that it is now. It was the complete opposite, actually, full of uncontrollable punks. I tried to gather the rascals in one place and lead them, but it never worked out smoothly. It was a ragtag band of people without a place to call home, like Rats. So I got my frustration off my chest when I met my old friend Maugie… Oh, maybe you’re more familiar with the name Maugris? Anyway, after hearing my ramblings, they said that there’s someone in their Office who would be perfect for the job, and I took the offer since I didn’t have any better ideas. That someone was Renaud. At first, I didn’t expect that spring chicken to be able to do much, but I was surprised to see that he only needed a week to convince everyone. For a guy who looked much younger than me, he had both power and smarts to boast. He had a way with words that persuaded some, and for those that wouldn’t listen, he’d settle it with a contest of strength like in some parts of the Backstreets. Back then, I was kinda jealous seeing Renaud handle something that I struggled with like it was nothing, but now I’ve accepted that he’s the better man. I know that I wouldn’t have managed to do it myself. I could’ve booted him out like a stubborn old man, but I have better things to keep than my pride.

A Bayard’s Office Fixer’s Page

Charles’ Office, the place Renaud worked, was popular among Fixers. It was the subject of a lot of gossip. For good reason, as it was a Grade 1 Office consisting of just a few elites, handling any request with ease… People would often wonder exactly what kind of Fixers were in that Office. All we know about the Office is that its Fixers wore luxurious clothes, and the Office interior was fancy as well—in a style unique to the northern side… And that there were twelve Fixers led by someone called the “captain”… and they’ve all parted ways now, living their own lives. That’s about it. Outside of Renaud, the person who helped us, we’ve only ever seen Maugris and Astolfo, who he would sometimes accompany… And someone called Bradamante. Their attire and weapons were all so distinct from what I could see of just those four, I couldn’t find anything in common. And the pressure I felt just from being around those powerful Fixers… The stark difference between me and them was something, I couldn’t think much else.
